Re: Lefty mandolin converted to right?
Sorry to sound a bit brutal but...
There are so many not-horrendous mandolins at rock-bottom prices out there (not too much lower quality than the subject instrument) that I don't see much benefit in converting the lefty to righty, and then back again. Yes, you'll have to set up ANY new instrument to make it reasonably playable, but you'll have to do that anyway to your friend's instrument, and probably twice.
For the sake of the friendship, I'd just buy a cheapie and learn how to make it work, rather than learning how to make your friend's (somewhat cheapie?) work.
